True story that happened to me.
About 3 month ago, I was visiting my parent's house for the day. Later on that day, during the evening, my mom went into her bedroom to get something. She was taking a while, so I decided to wait for her in the family living room. While I'm standing in the living room, I decide to take a close look at all the framed family photos resting on the mantle piece, located above the fireplace.
So I'm standing in front of the mantle piece, staring at each photo, when I arrive at the photograph of my much-loved Grandpa. His photo is positioned in the center of the mantle piece, as a focal point, with a little statue of the Virgin Mary placed next to his photo. Out of respect for my dear Grandpa, I kissed my fingertips and then transfered them to his face in the photo. Then I proceeded to pick up the tiny statue of the Virgin Mary, and bring it to my lips to kiss it. As I kissed the little statue of the Virgin Mary, not a moment before, or a moment after, but at PRECISELY THE SAME TIME, the chandelier lights, hanging in the centre of the family room, suddenly began to flicker. I immediately turned around to look at the lights and, with my own eyes, I saw them steadily dim down to no power (my parent's do not have a light dimmer), and the electricity in the entire house cuts out. My eyes were still glued to the chandelier lights, which were now off, when suddenly, the lights instantly powered back to normal, and then I heard a distant "beeeep" sound made by the inbuilt oven clock from the kitchen.
I just stood there with the statue of the Virgin Mary in my hand, in utter shock and astonishment. I couldn't believe it. I immediately returned the Virgin Mary statue to the mantle piece, and just said, "Oh my God." Then I called out to my mom and asked, "Did you SEE that!!?" Unfortunately, she was in her room and was unaware of what had just happened. Curiously, the lights in her bedroom were unaffected. I then asked, "But did you hear the beep sound of the oven clock from the kitchen!?", and she said she did.
I was pretty shaken up about it afterwards, but I can tell you, this was the FREAKIEST thing that has ever happened to me.
